Hello everyone

Iam having a Strange noise from the passenger side (like a paper flying in the air sound) ... while driving the whole time !!!

i checked everything and looked for maybe a paper or something was there but nothing!!!!

I think I have/had a crackling noise in the same area. I'm pretty sure it's due to wind. It only happened at 90+, but I don't notice it anymore.

Someone mentioned it is due to the flat plastic piece between the sideblade at the top.

Probably is something to do with the sideblade. I had some noises from the passenger side but when I changed the blades (now carbon fiber) the noises all disappeared (maybe a more diligent installation by the mechanic?)

Not sure. I kind of forgot about it. Usually have the windows down or music on, so I don't notice it if it is.

I had a weird ticking noise from the passenger side the other day - it seems to have healed itself now!!
